Profile:
After waiting in the wings for over a decade, Dilip Doshi made
his Test debut at 32 and for the next three years he was the
leading spin bowler in the side, completing his 100th wicket
in his 28th Test. However over the next year, he played in only
five Tests, was rather expensive and was dropped for good. But
Doshi's final Test figures still classify him to be ranked amongst
the great Indian bowlers. A left arm spin bowler with a good
command over line and length, Doshi also had excellent control over
turn and flight. He made his first class debut in 1968 and picked
up wickets regularly around the domestic circuit but with Bedi
around, Doshi had to bide his time.
It was only after Bedi played his last Test in 1979 that Doshi
got his chance. But he made up for lost time picking up 27 wickets
in six Tests in his first series against Australia in 1979-80.
From then on he was India's spin spearhead and missed only one
Test - because of a foot injury - out of 32 since making his
debut. Despite his injury, he played a notable part in India's
miraculous victory at Melbourne against a strong Australian side
in 1980-81 and he was outstanding against England in 1981-82
picking up 22 wickets - the best for either side. He did well
in England in 1982 and took eight wickets in the only Test
against Sri Lanka in 1982-83. But on the tour of Pakistan in
1982-83, he was hardly given the status of the side's leading
spinner and relations soured between him and the captain Sunil
Gavaskar. Dropped for the tour of West Indies in 1983, he was back
for a single Test against Pakistan in 1983-84 but was discarded
thereafter. Towards the end of his career, Doshi switched from
Bengal to Saurashtra. He had wide experience of the game in England
including first class cricket for Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire.
His best season was in 1980 when he took 101 wickets for Warwickshire.
